Abstract

A semiconductor structure that provides intrinsic doping from native defects is provided. A quantum well including a narrow bandgap material (11, 14) having a low concentration of native defects is sandwiched between two wide bandgap spacer layers (12, 20, 17, 15). The spacer layers (12, 20, 17, 15) have a low concentration of native defects. At least one doping region (13, 16) having a high concentration of native defects positioned adjacent to one of the undoped spacer layers (12, 17).
